When your career hits the skids, who ya gonna call? Celebrity Rehab! We're not saying Aaron Carter purposely got busted in Texas with a couple ounces of pot. We're just saying.
The Post reports that Carter is "allegedly" the latest star to check into VH1's reality rehab and may be joining former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss and former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach for the new edition that starts taping in June.
With roommates like those, who needs The Simple Life? And if they get bored with detox, they can always call 1-800-WINEHOUSE.
The Wynn Las Vegas has filed suit against former NBA star Charles Barkley claiming he owes the casino $400,000. TMZ reports that Barkley could be charged with a felony if he doesn't pay up.

According to court docs, the casino fronted the NBA star four different $100,000 markers -- two each on October 18 and 19.
This vid shows Britney Spears and Mel Gibson going to dinner together in March. That's nothing. Right now are on a plane to Costa Rica for a little weekend vacay (no hanky panky, we assume).
Uncle Mel invited Britney and her father, Jamie, to stay at his vacation home in Costa Rica. Insider reports they left on a private plane at 9:05 this morning.
According to the terms of her custody Britney's children cannot leave the country without special approval, so they are not joining her on the trip.
While the pop star and the actor may appear to be an unlikely duo, they used to live in the same Malibu community and were spotted having dinner together at Studio City's Romanov restaurant in March.
Vaya con Dios.
